Keep the current DSL on the path that it is on.
I think with DSL as it is, is the reason it is finding widespread acceptance.... and growing.
I agree with the notion that if a smaller DSL is desired, so be it.
However, let that be a "gift" from the development team to those of us who would like a "base" DSL, but keep the focus on the 50MB flavor. DSL at 50MB can not be beat. It does not get any better than that.
Perhaps the release a "Base DSL - 20MB of Penguin Power Special Edition" would help get everyone's feet wet with no promise of support or continuation. 20MB ? 15MB ? 10MB ? What ever it turns out to be, I do not know.
As far as a "base" version goes, I would love to have a DSL that boots to X, has next to no apps, and let's me go get what I want from repository in the same manner what it does now.
Nothing in the Apps menu except the tools.
No games, and one window manager.
Forum space for DSL Base.
How about a tool/script that asks you what App you want removed and then does it? That way you could start with the awesome 50MB and then trim it down as far as you want to take it. I do not even know if that is possilbe, but sounds good.
If I could get my hands on a 8MB DSL with GUI, I would be hard pressed not to drool on it, but I do not know how to make one..... yet. (i'm thinking thin client with a real working DSL....)
I digress.
